In this episode of the MakeReady Podcast, we sit down with Jacob Robinson—entrepreneur, founder of Dig World, and father to a courageous son with special needs—to talk about how pain, purpose, and perseverance collide when life doesn’t go according to plan.

From corporate ambitions to janitorial work, from planting churches to launching a construction-themed amusement park, Jacob’s story is anything but linear. But it was in the valley—when his son Pierce nearly died and life turned upside down—that Jacob learned what it really means to lead, to trust, and to build with eternity in mind.

If you’ve ever wrestled with unanswered prayers, questioned God’s goodness in the storm, or felt the pressure to provide at all costs, this conversation will remind you: the valley is not the end of the story—it’s where the real work begins.
